KEYNOTE ADDRESS - SUSTAINING LEADERSHIP:
Staying in Growth Phase
Frank M. Hauck, EMC Corporation

"While countless high-tech companies have soared and then crashed in recent years, EMC has successfully anticipated one new technology after another."
- Harvard Business Review, January 2001

"Staying in the growth phase requires both timing and speed...as one product peaks, the next one in the pipeline is poised to cross the chasm. One sign of our own success is that, in recent years, as much as 80% of our annual revenue has come from products introduce during the year."
- Michael Ruettgers, CEO of EMS, as quoted in Harvard Business Review

How do you stay in the "growth phase," even after ten years? In this keynote presentation, you will hear how EMC sustains product leadership in a constantly shifting industry. Frank Hauck will discuss the tradeoffs between quality and time-to-market, between a broadly balanced product line and a focus on core competencies. He will share the experience of EMC Corporation, and its recent acquisition of Data General, in the rapidly expanding market for networked information infrastructure.

Frank M. Hauck is the Executive Vice President of Products and Offerings at EMC Corporation, a Fortune 500 company and leading provider of enterprise storage systems, networks, softare and services. In this capacity, Frank is responsible for all enterprise storage research and development activities, worldwide manufacturing operations, corporate quality, product management and strategic marketing functions.
